Chapter 13

A/N: This entire chapter is a flashback to 1001 when Cassie and the others were turned, I didn't want to write an entire chapter in the italic font because it kind of hurts my eyes! Anyways enjoy <3

     "Come on Cassandra! Niklaus and Elijah are dueling once again!" Rebekah grabbed her hand and lead her towards the area, Henrick ran along side the girls when they made it, Cassie couldn't help but smile, she loved watching the way they moved, the art and precision behind dueling. The only thing was that Mikael hated it. Whenever he caught her lurking for too long he would push her along and force her into the house to do chores. After her parents died Mikael felt responsible for Cassie, acting like her father when all she wanted was for him to rot in hell. She would never say that aloud though, she might be killed for it.

     With one quick swipe Klaus nicked Elijah's belt letting it fall to the ground, the boys were smiling. A rush of adrenaline came through Cassie as she stepped forward, "May I Elijah?" He turned to face her, the look on his face was a mixture of confusion and pride, "If our father catches you with a sword in your hand, who knows what he would do Cassandra." She grabbed the sword and took Elijah's place, "I shall no longer fear the wrath of Mikael, with time he will learn that I am not his daughter. There isn't a need to protect me." Cassie took a deep breathe and got into her fighting stance, Klaus was hesitant but got into his. Their swords crashed together, Klaus was quick, but Cassie was quicker. She was agile and precise with her movements, Klaus got the upper ground, she was on her knees within seconds, he had his sword above hers, pressing down on her.

     One quick swipe and Cassie had the sword at his lower abdomen. She smirked, energy pulsed through her body, she felt alive and absolutely fantastic. "It seems the fair lady has won Niklaus." Elijah stepped in, the smile on his face was unlike anything she'd seen before, Cassie blushed looking at his proud reaction. "What is the meaning of this?" Mikael's voice boomed across the lawn, Klaus dropped his sword to the ground as Cassie did the same. "Go back to the kitchen little girl!" He looked at Cassie but she didn't budge, she was sick of being pushed around, of being bullied by this pathetic man, "No." Cassie stood her ground, looking him dead in the eye, "What did you dare to speak?" Cassie took a deep breathe, "I said no." Mikael got up into her face, standing right up to her, "I will no longer be pushed around by a man who pretends to be my father, I assure you, you are not." Esther came up behind Mikael and touched his shoulder, "She is misguided darling, I will get her into the house, do not fret."

     Esther lead Cassie back into the Mikaelson's house, Esther closed the door and looked at Cassie, "Cassandra you cannot be playing these kinds of games with him, he shall not hesitate to fix the problem when it comes to a head." Cassie groaned, "He is not my father, why would he be pretending to be something he clearly isn't?" Esther sighed, "You need to control your emotions, I refuse to proceed our practices if you keep having outbursts as such." Cassie nodded, she looked out the window, Mikael was screaming at Klaus and Elijah. She felt bad, they didn't deserve this kind of treatment. All because she wanted to defy him. Mikael came storming through the door, he looked down on Cassie, "You will not speak to any of my children, you shall not contact them, the wedding between you and Elijah is off."

Tears flooded her eyes, "You couldn't possibly, please!" He began to walk away, "Don't walk away!" She cried it out, the windows burst, the glass shattered, landing at her feet. Cassie was getting more and more powerful by the second, but she couldn't control it. Cassie stormed out of the house, pushing past the Mikaelson siblings, fighting back the tears. When she got to her hut she slammed the door, Natalia turned her head, looking at Cassie, "What has you in such a bunch sister?" She began to cry, she didn't know why but she did. Natalia came up and hugged Cassie, wrapping her arms around Cassie's waist, holding her as tight as she could. She kissed the top of Natalia's head, silently wishing this moment could last forever.
